Crimestoppers is today launching a new campaign to tackle the issue of illegal tobacco.

In partnership with Oxfordshire Trading Standards, the charity is raising awareness of the effect illegal tobacco has on communities.

The campaign asks the public to pass it information on who or where illegal rolling tobacco and cigarettes are being sold.

Not the function of a charity to "raise awareness" of the fact that a packet of carp fags in England takes more of the minimum wage than in any other country. But then of course our vile state has also ripped off the minimum wage earner when he puts a couple of gallons of fuel in his car, massive VAT, in fact everywhere you look the state is saying it can spend your pi** poor income better than you can. Yes let's have a bit of serious "awareness" of that.
